RE: Eclipse Data Tools Project

Mike, if it was that easy I guess Zachi or me could have done it ;-). NetBeans -- what's that? The pale imitation of Eclipse done by Sun? The Data Tools within Eclipse are a little weirdo to configure and I am pretty sure they have a great way to build the connection URL which is not compatible with Informix. It might not be a lot of work, but they do not provide much debugging information besides the exception stack. Java is my friend and has been for quite some years now ;-). Which reminds me... during IDUG 2007, I will have a half day hands-on seminar on Java, how to build your first app, etc. Heavily using Eclipse, IDS (probably Cheetah, I cant use something else) and Java 6. I'll also speak of EJB 3, XML, etc. But I will not be the only one speaking of Java at the conference. 2 min ad ;-) > -----Original Message----- > From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list- > bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Ian Michael Gumby > Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 05:37 > To: jgp@iiug.org; zklopman@gmail.com; informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: RE: Eclipse Data Tools Project > > > Jean, > > I believe this is a dead issue. > > You can set it up to add the Informix JDBC drivers to the path and then > use > them for a connection. > I did this with NetBeans so it should be similar in Eclipse. > > -Mike > PS.
